What body type do you have after your weight loss?

After being an apple shape for a long time. I was surprised to find out I am a inverted triangle body type.

Today my therapist told me I have the body of a 14 year old boy.

Wasn't very nice of her.

I have a 14 year old boy. You look nothing like him!

You should have told her "How do you know what I have buried in my backyard?"

That would have messed with her head!:)

I bet she meant it as a compliment. Waifish

No secret I am not crazy about these charts because most of us probably want to think of ourselves as hour glass but the underlying bone structure doesn't support it..just another reason to find flaw. I don't feel that way anymore as I embrace my God given attributes but I didn't start out thinking that way.

The advantage of self awareness however is the art of creative dressing. I am the inverted triangle, athletic build but it is readily disguised. The first time I was aware I was at a very formal work related cocktail event. My colleagues all told me I looked "va-voom" so to speak. Then a friend took me aside told me she had tried the same dress I bought at Macy's but it made her have a "huge ass" whereas on me it was very figure flattering because it gave me that hourglass shape. Little light bulbs went off in my head and since then I have not been afraid of clothes that make the butt look big. I have been complimented many times on my figure even though I am bigger than I wish I were. I mean that I don't get petite - when I lose more weight I just look bony, my butt gets tiny but my shoulders/chest never get that small, just bony. It was a little hard to get over the idea that I will always be bigger than my skinny friends due to our basic builds being so different but I have embraced it and dress for my figure.

1) No wonder woman have so many body issues.

2) No, not "what I have buried" should be "who you have buried"

According to folktales and legends, if a person rubs Buddha's belly, it brings good luck, wealth and prosperity. We all need to rub a Buddha belly.

He can speak for himself, but I do think he would prefer you wait until the hernia is healed

I love it! I guess I'm overcooked broccoli.

In my mind I am essential nothingness (but I am a guy, so I have that going for me), but I'm probably in this plain of reality a Bart.
